Out of curiosity, why are you asking?  Unless you're implementing
some low-level interface to the database you shouldn't need to worry
about escaping strings; just use your API's quote/escape (or whatever)
function or its placeholder mechanism (if it has one).  If you're
using an interface that doesn't have any of these capabilities, what
is it?  Some people might want to avoid it ;-)
